LANDS

In 2018, then Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke signed a 20-year administrative mineral withdrawal, protecting 30,000 acres of public lands in Yellowstone’s northern gateway from two proposed gold mines.

In the mid-1990s, numerous land trades were orchestrated to protect public lands from development, including more than 100,000 acres on the Gallatin-Custer National Forest, just outside Yellowstone’s northwest corner.
